Congressman Robert Garcia, a U.S. representative serving California's 42nd district since 2023, recently shared several statements on social media concerning labor rights, immigration, and an upcoming town hall event. Garcia, known for his active engagement on civil issues, continues to influence public discourse through his online platforms.
On March 28, 2025, Garcia addressed collective bargaining rights, expressing opposition to unilateral actions by Donald Trump: "Trump cannot unilaterally end collective bargaining for federal workers. We know when people organize and collectively bargain, wages go up, and working conditions improve. We will fight this decision in the courts and in Congress. Unions make America strong."
Later that day, the congressman called for the release of detained students, stating, "Rumeysa Ozturk and other students who have been detained by ICE for expressing their First Amendment rights must be released immediately." Garcia emphasized the importance of protecting constitutional rights, referencing the ongoing detainment by ICE.
Finally, Garcia invited the public to join a live town hall discussion, highlighting key topics: "Watch our Town Hall LIVE on C-SPAN today at 5:30 pm Pacific, 8:30 pm Eastern. We will be taking questions about Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE." Engagement in dialogue on diverse issues remains a priority for the congressman.
